It makes sense. The big heavy cars are the ones with thicker steel, so they don't rust out as fast.

Did you know that you can edit the title of your post? You should think about it!

I don't have a copy of Word handy, but I don't think it is nearly as detailed. Wordperfect would show you all the formatting, but also marks for tables of contents and indexes, columns, images and other inserts, etc.

WordPerfect's "Reveal Codes" mode was the best feature a word processor ever had. You could see exactly what was causing your formatting problems, and surgically fix them. It's like viewing the HTML of a web page.

Here's a new game: try to guess which party he belongs to before clicking on the story!

Yes, and the abused spouse provided her (/his) abuser.

I have been learning Spanish with Language Transfer. My wife has too, and even though she does not have much of a gift for languages, she found it very intuitive and rewarding.

For those of you who haven't looked at language transfer, it has Spanish, Greek, Turkish, Arabic, French, German, Swahili, italian, and music theory. Some of those are introductions, others are full courses.

It's not clear if the developers are simply trying to build a free alternative to Duolingo, but I'm not a fan of that approach anyway.

I tried Duolingo, but it was really just a flashy form of rote memorization. I had much greater success using Language Transfer, which is also free but is a series of MP3s.

Maybe this could be used in conjunction with LT, the former for vocabulary and the latter building up grammar and processing skills.

My wife pointed out to me a couple of years ago that I was simultaneously the oldest person on our Dev team, and the youngest person in our church.

On the other hand, the inflation rate in Japan has averaged close to 0% for the past 30 years. Japan used to be considered an expensive country, but now I think it's safe to say that it's cheaper than much of North America and Europe

Corned beef seems to have originated in Ireland and Scotland, but was commonly used throughout the British Empire for the past 400 years. I assume the cooking and salting process makes it last much longer without going bad, which would make sense for long voyages.

Is it possible they ask the employees what food they wished to be served on that day? And the ones who are complaining were a minority who didn't want it?

It's equally possible that they didn't consult employees and just didn't something that they thought was appropriate.

It's not clear how it happened.

I would say that it's not the religion itself which is helping people it is a built-in community, with support for its members and a common identity. They meet at least once a week, sometimes eat together, and sing together.

That last thing is something that I believe is not recognized as much as it should be. For all of human history, since we could bang rocks and make grunts, humans have made music together.

It is only in the past century, and especially in North america, that we have delegated music making two professionals, while we become music consumers. The number of people who actually make music of any kind has shrunk dramatically.

In other parts of the world, or even some parts of North America (like the maritimes in Canada) making music is still a recognized and valued part of life.

I was struck by this when I attended a conference for volunteers. The volunteers from Denmark, Germany, and England all sang folk songs for us. The Canadians and Americans looked at each other and tried to find anything that we all knew. We couldn't find anything.

My guess is, the concern is thinking that if Donald Trump is re-elected, he would pardon this guy.

There are so many flavors of protestantism, it's hard to give a blanket answer.

For example, high Anglican practice and theology are almost indistinguishable from Catholic, except that the head of their Church is an archbishop (and above him theoretically the King of England) rather than a pope, and their priests can get married. That makes some historical sense, because the church was created simply because Henry the 8th wanted to divorce and the Pope wouldn't allow it.

Most mainline Protestant churches believe that it is the individual's right and responsibility to read and interpret scripture for themselves.

I don't think your quote at all addresses the concept of whether Catholics doctrine declares the Bible to be literally true. Inerrant, yes.

I think there is confusion because the church believes that some passages should be taken literally and other symbolically, and the church will tell you which is which.

It does happen in Japan.

In 2005, 106 passengers were killed and more than 500 injured.

Almost exactly 50% of Christians in the world are Catholics, who acknowledge that the Bible is allegorical and not literal truth.

If you are referring to fundamentalists (typically evangelicals), yes most of them do believe in the literal truth. Evangelicals in the US are about 24% of the population, and most likely Less in the rest of the world.

Also, the actor who played Boss Hogg had been in Army Intelligence during the Korean war, and spoke about 12 languages.

There was certainly a plug-in or something that made Reddit look like an Excel spreadsheet, so reading Reddit made you look like you were doing important calculations!
